    Help with Headphone identification (old Senn)

    Okay, with the help of cmoy from headwize, i identified them as Sennheiser HD 480 II. I'm quite surprised those headphones haven't more positive critics, because I find them very good sounding and comfortabloe for their category... and, they're very very solid !

    sharp MDsr60s, opinions?

    It was a very good portable MD recoder. Well, it was accidentally broken in my backpack in the train buy someone who walked on it... But it is a very good budget unit. Now I bought a Sharp MD-MT 88. This is the successor of the MDSR60, with MDLP (Long play feature). Same features...

    I never owned a V700DJ, however, I've a friend who owns one. So my comparisons are based on quite brief comparative auditions. But the difference is quite obvious to my ears. It is difficult to translate with words the impressions you ear obviously (and even more difficult when you're...

    Excuse me if my English is bad. But, as I'm a DJ and as I had the opportunity to listen to all the headphones concerned, I think my input may be usefull. Personnaly, I wouldn't recommend neither the Technics model (it is not because Technics make wonderfull turntables that their headphones...

    Must have PortaCorda!!! (but can't get it)

    Flasken: Registered post is a way to insure that your letter (with the cash) will directly arrive in the hands of (for instance) Jan Meier. It's quite more expensive than a regular letter, but the postman will give your letter directly in the recipients hands or leave an advice for him to get it...

    HD 25sp : What's the story?

    Your headphones won't become louder with burn-in. It is your portable that is probably underpowered (A sony minidisc perhaps?). So, there are 3 solutions: 1. you find more sensitive cans (but thisone is though if you want to keep the same sound quality) 2. you get a more powerful...

    !!!! PORTA CORDA !!!! SALES-ACTION !!!!

    CMT-SD1 is a minisystem, right? So if there is a RCA output FROM the CD, i would use thisone in order to bypass the amp of the sony system. A RCA-->miniplug isn't very expensive, and you will certainly have a better quality than from the headphone jack. But first, check that it isn't a RCA...

    Headphone amp and air travel.

    I recently took the plane with a headbanger (shame on me!) in my suitcase and had no problem... Anyway, what whadbang says is approximatively quite correct (but don't try to take 1 kg of dynamite in your cases). So maybe it is better not to take your amp in the cabin. Your suitcases are...

    smokers

    aeberbach, don't insinuate that patches or gums are a bad thing, as those may really help a lot of people to quit. There are lots of techniques to quit, but studies have shown that the most effective one was the use of a nicotine substitute for a limited period, so people who tried to quit alone...

    smokers

    Hi gorgon! Are you using some nicotine substitution treatment (nicotine chewing-gums, inhalers, patches...)? I made an essay on smoking cessation (and also on the benficial effects of nicotine ); and lots of studies show that those substitutive treatements are really a great help for...

    DJ headphones: survey

    My personal opinion : The sound of the headphone isn't really important if you only want to mix electronic music. So the most important factor is isolation. When you're just next to return speakers and you want to ear something else in your headphones, the fidelity of the headphone isn't...

    Are all Rotel Headphone Amps created equal?

    I never saw an amplifier that automatically powers off the speakers when the headphones are plugged. So, IMO, your amp isn't weird. This must be a japanese gadget.

    Dolby Headphone on a MD player - Any interest?

    Well, I'm planning to buy a new MD player, and I saw that Sharp one with the Dolby Headphone processor (forgot the ref number). Now, I'm wondering, is that processor of any interest on a MD player?? I suppose that technology can be very interesting on a DVD player for exemple (to view movies...

    FYI - Buying Grados in France

    So the 'Grado situation' is even worse in France...doesn't surprise me... Indeed, I'd suggest you not to buy a Senn HD 580/600 if you don't plan to buy an amp, cause they are a bit deceiving without decent amplification. You could always give a try to the Senn HD 25 if you want something...

    FYI - Buying Grados in France

    Salut Pierre! Well, i'll use english as it is the reference language on this board. I live in Brussels and I also thought to buy Grado headphones. But the price really discouraged me. There are a few high-end audio shops that carry the Grado line in Brussels, but they ask like $150 for a...

    Pioneer Headphones???

    Never heard them, but a friend of mine told me they doesn't sound too bad... (told me it was in the same class of Technics DJ 1200 headphone) They have a little cushion on the right earcup to facilitate one-ear monitoring (you can rest the earcup on your shoulder)...they seem quite handy for...

    Anyone else find Sennheiser cords very, uh...UN-sturdy?

    Yes, I've been experiencing the same problems with my HD 580 (I had to replace it twice, so it is my third cord). It wouldn't be so annoying if those cords were less expensive. If i remember, they asked me like $20 for the cord the last time I bought a new one. And a friend of mine who has a HD...
